Comments and Reviews


Bob1951 16th Dec 2018		Label variant images added with label printing date code LY (Dec. 1918) and 1 line of patent text. Xiphophilos, Wouldn't the LY (Dec. 1918) labels be the original release?



xiphophilos 2nd Oct 2017		The CX labels above represent Columbia's label sub-variety iii: 6 patents in 2 lines, used between ca. 1918-19, so they must be from the original Jan. 1919 release. The LX labels are an interesting mix: The A side (Campbell & Burr) is still sub-variety iii, with 6 patents in 2 lines; the B side (Sterling Trio), however, is an example of label sub-variety iv: 5 patents in 2 lines, used between ca. 1919-1920. So this must be a very early repress. I'm surprised that both sides of the repress have the LX label code. This is the first time, I think, that I see a switch in label code that appears to have immediately preceded yet another switch in label design. Usually, both seem to go hand in hand. (Label design info based on Mike Sherman & Kurt Nauck, "Note The Notes: An Illustrated History of the Columbia Record Label 1901-1958," p. 28). By the way, I've switched the tracks around because in TMW, Campbell & Burr, probably the more famous act, are mentioned first.



edlongus SUBS 1st Oct 2017		Slight label variant scans added (LX instead of CX code on right-center).
